Jefferies Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Q3 Financial Highlights

• Net income attributable to common shareholders of $195 million, or $0.78 per diluted share; adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders¹ of $275 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, after removing $80 million of expense related to a regulatory settlement in the quarter
• Annualized return on adjusted tangible equity of 10.0%²; adjusted annualized return on adjusted tangible equity of 14.0%³
• Total Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management net revenues of $1.12 billion
  • Investment Banking net revenues of $682 million
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $452 million
  • Asset Management net loss (before allocated net interest⁴) of $3 million
• Pre-tax gain on sale of Idaho Timber of $139 million
• Repurchased 4.3 million shares of common stock for $134.1 million, or an average price of $31.39 per share, including 0.6 million shares repurchased after quarter end through September 27, 2022; at August 31, 2022, we had 228.8 million shares outstanding and 256.2 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis⁵; our book value per share was $44.98 and tangible book value per fully diluted share⁶ was $33.81
• Since January 2018, Jefferies has repurchased 149.6 million shares of common stock⁷ for $3.5 billion, or an average price of $23.39 per share; Jefferies has returned to shareholders $4.8 billion since January 2018, or 48% of shareholders’ equity and 63% of tangible shareholders’ equity⁸ at the beginning of this effort
• Our Board of Directors has increased our share buyback authorization back to a total of $250 million

“Our third quarter results reflect the strength and momentum of our Firm, our team, our brand and our market position, despite the challenges of the current market environment. Investment Banking and Equities were very resilient, and we expect we have gained market share in those areas as we continue to support our clients through this volatile time. Moreover, we achieved solid Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management net revenues of over $1.12 billion despite unrealized markdowns in our mortgage inventory and leveraged finance commitments as the current environment has particularly impacted those asset classes. Our 14.0% adjusted annualized return on adjusted tangible equity³ is respectable and was achieved despite the significant dislocation in the new issue capital markets for much of this period.

“We are working very closely with our clients, so that we are able to support them further when economic and market conditions improve, and new issue activity opens up. Our backlog⁹ is consistent with last quarter’s levels, but realization remains dependent on market conditions.

“2022 is feeling like a transitional year in our business, but one in which we are making good progress in enhancing our market share. We continue to invest toward further growth, most notably in Investment Banking, guard our balance sheet and capital against the risk of the increased volatility, and prioritize our clients and our Jefferies’ team. We believe this will yield a solid result for 2022, and set the stage for continued growth and success in 2023 and beyond.”

Richard Handler, CEO, and Brian Friedman, President

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Jefferies Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend equal to $0.30 per Jefferies common share, payable on November 29, 2022 to record holders of Jefferies common shares on November 14, 2022. We continue to work diligently to effect the spin-off to shareholders of our holdings in Vitesse Energy by the end of our fiscal year, subject to necessary regulatory reviews and rulings.

Three months ended August 31, 2022		Nine months ended August 31, 2022
Investment Banking and Capital Markets		Investment Banking and Capital Markets
Investment Banking net revenues were $682 million, as our mergers and acquisitions net revenues remained strong. Our debt and equity underwriting net revenues were lower than the same quarter last year, consistent with a reduction in industry-wide deal activity. Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $452 million were slightly higher as compared to the prior year quarter. Equities net revenues benefited from higher commissions and trading revenues, as our business continues to expand within the context of a more normalized trading environment. Fixed Income net revenues reflect mark to market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitization activity as a result of continued uncertainty in respect of inflation and interest rates.		Investment Banking net revenues of $2.37 billion were driven by record advisory net revenues, offset by lower net revenues in debt and equity underwriting. Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $1.35 billion were lower as compared to prior year period. Equities net revenues were impacted by market volatility and global instability, primarily in the first six months of the year. Fixed Income results were impacted by lower trading volumes, mark to market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitization activity in the face of inflation concerns and interest rate uncertainty.
Asset Management		Asset Management
Asset Management net revenues reflect an increase in underlying fee revenue, offset by modest investment losses reflective of the difficult trading environment as compared to the profit realized in the prior year quarter.		Asset Management net revenues reflect higher asset management fees, offset by lower investment returns and lower revenues from strategic affiliates as compared to the prior year period.
Legacy Merchant Banking		Legacy Merchant Banking
Merchant Banking results reflect the $139 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Idaho Timber and strong results at Vitesse, partially offset by a decline in the value of several of our investments in public companies.

Merchant Banking results reflect strong results at Idaho Timber and Vitesse, as well as the gain on the sale of Idaho Timber, partially offset by a decline in the value of several of our investments in public companies.

(1)	In the first quarter of 2022, we transferred certain Merchant Banking net assets to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management segments. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.
(2)	In the first quarter of 2022, we also made a change to present our share of the net earnings of Berkadia Commercial Mortgage Holding LLC within Investment banking net revenues, which was previously presented within our Other business category. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.
(3)	Allocated net interest is not separately disaggregated for Investment Banking and Capital Markets. This presentation is aligned to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets internal performance measurement.
(4)	Includes management and performance fees from funds and accounts managed by us as well as our share of fees received by affiliated asset management companies with which we have revenue and profit share arrangements, as well as earnings on our ownership interest in affiliated asset managers.
(5)	Allocated net interest represents an allocation to Asset Management of certain of our long-term debt interest expense, net of interest income on our Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity. Allocated net interest has been disaggregated to increase transparency and to make clearer actual Investment return. We believe that aggregating Investment return and Allocated net interest would obscure the Investment return by including an amount that is unique to our credit spreads, debt maturity profile, capital structure, liquidity risks and allocation methods.
(6)	Number of trading loss days is calculated based on trading activities in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments.
(7)	VaR estimates the potential loss in value of trading positions in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments due to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion of the calculation of VaR, see “Value-at-Risk” in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021.
